Abstract

A sheath assembly (100) for an invasive probe. The sheath assembly (100) includes an internal sheath (102) for covering a probe and at least one channel tube (112) external to the internal sheath (102), the channel tube (112) being foldable into a closed state in which the tube does not define a channel, or openable into an open state in which the tube defines a channel that extends along a portion of the sheath assembly (100).
